Tino Livramento makes cranky Newcastle statement as true Alexander Isak feelings shared

As the new Premier League season gets underway, Newcastle United finds itself in a challenging position, still searching for that first elusive win.

Off the field, the constant noise surrounding the future of star striker Alexander Isak has created a backdrop of speculation and uncertainty.

It would be easy to assume that this ongoing saga might be causing tension and distraction within the squad, but according to defender Tino Livramento, nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, he believes the team is more united and determined than ever before.

The entire summer has been dominated by talk of Isak’s desire to leave St. James’ Park, with Liverpool showing strong interest in the Swedish international.

The situation reached a point where the player himself went on strike, refusing to play and missing the start of the season a scenario that could easily have fractured the spirit within the dressing room and created division among the supporters.

However, Livramento is keen to emphasize that the unity among the players has never been stronger.

He points to the team’s performance against Liverpool as clear proof of their togetherness. Despite going 2-0 down and having to play more than half the game with only ten men after Anthony Gordon’s red card, Newcastle fought back bravely, equalizing before ultimately suffering a heartbreaking late defeat.

That kind of resilience does not come from a group that is fractured or distracted; it comes from a team that is fully committed to each other and the club’s cause.

Livramento speaks warmly about the atmosphere among the players, describing his teammates as his friends and highlighting the positive feeling around the club every single day.

According to him, the Isak situation has not changed the dynamic in the dressing room one bit. Instead of allowing external issues to pull them apart, the squad has used it as an opportunity to grow closer, proving that the collective is far greater than any individual.

This defiant spirit was matched by the supporters on Monday night. The fans played their part in creating a passionate and defiant atmosphere, with a banner in the Gallowgate End sending a powerful message that the team is about more than just one player it is about an entire city and community standing together.

That unwavering support from the stands undoubtedly helped drive the players on during the most difficult moments of the match, when everything seemed to be going against them.

Now, another test awaits as Newcastle prepares to face Leeds United this weekend. The team has taken just one point from its opening two matches, and they will have to navigate this challenge without the suspended Anthony Gordon.

Injuries are also beginning to mount, with Sandro Tonali and Joelinton both forced off against Liverpool, leaving the squad looking thin in key areas.

Even if Alexander Isak is eventually reintegrated into the team, it is clear that Newcastle needs reinforcements before the transfer window closes.

The early weeks of the season have exposed a lack of depth that could become a real problem as the campaign progresses.

For now, though, the players are choosing to focus on what they can control: their effort, their attitude, and their belief in one another. The challenge is significant, but if the performance against Liverpool is anything to go by, this is a group that will never stop fighting.
